1. Homepage
The homepage should be clean and uncluttered; however the main promotional space should be above the fold of the page, for example http://www.apple.com/

The main functionality of the page should be a graphic of our service areas that can be used as a snapshot of services. This should be designed with ‘Cloud Computing Services’ at the centre and 5 distinct sub service areas:

The template of each page will follow the same clean design as the homepage, removing the ‘Cloud Computing Services’ image and adding a bread crumb trail, page header (to be used consistently throughout the site as an <h1>) and click to play single video styled similarly to the video scroller on the homepage, but with only click to play functionality.

Below the video and above the fold of the page will be icons for sub services. These icons will generic and allow text to be changed easily, providing further information when hovered over (e.g. when hovering over a service, some text pops out describing that service, see menu at http://www.investec.co.uk for design idea).

Below the fold of the page will be a header for each sub service (this header is to be the <h2> consistently used throughout the site) with room for 2 – 3 paragraphs of text for each service.

Sidebar

On all pages except the homepage and ‘contact us’ page will be a sidebar.

This sidebar can be within the frame of the page, however it would be ideal to see ideas for floating this sidebar outside of the frame of the page, possibly fixed to the side of the browser (similar to the feedback button on http://just-ping.com). This sidebar should not however encroach on the content and clutter the design.
